Samenvatting
Komiek Rupert Pupkin koestert een grote droom: hij wil koste wat het kost een gastoptreden versieren in de talkshow van zijn idool Jerry Langford. Daarom probeert hij steeds in contact te komen met hem, doch de man wijst hem steevast af omdat hij niet in hem gelooft. Om zijn droom te verwezenlijken zal Pupkin echter tot het uiterste gaan. Samen met collega-fan Masha vat hij het plan op om Langford te ontvoeren en zo zijn zin te krijgen. Als losgeld eist Pupkin een optreden in Jerry's show.Credits
